Geeks hug
It had been a few weeks.
A handful of episodes and tags were recorded, and their was one particular tag Rocket was extraordinarily proud of, even doing a cool backflip-jump into a rocket pose for the crowd.
She got a bunch of compliments from the fellow taggers that day. It was honestly kinda nice being noticed, as for a day she went from Rocket case to THE Rocket!
Even Big Deal clapped her on the back for that one, sending a thumbs up before the blonde could fully process what was happening.
Man, that day was one of the best.
Her and Geek had a mini celebration for that one, ordering Pizza and having a private impromptu dance party .
It was one for the books!
So why, dear Houston why,
did today have to be so damn horrible???
As if it wasn’t enough that Geek and Rocket were deemed social outcasts at the bottoms of the social ladder,
The Tagger gods had to add a RECORD of their failure.
During Dome tag today, her and geek made history of being the first two taggers to drop from exhaustion.
Really.
Just REALLY???
People already thought she was just a weak free runner, she couldn’t even imagine what they thought now???
Worlds weakest taggers was constantly going through her mind, as it was absolute social Suicide to do what they did.
As if their wasn’t a big enough target on their backs already.
Now they were labeled as the weakest.
Her and Geek hid out for the rest of the day, in their little secret Dance party hideout, wallowing in their shame from the others.
Though she was surprised to hear not just Lorena, but Flame looking for her too.
Atomic Ant looking for her was shocking in its own, but FLAME? She wasn’t even an untouchable! Lorena could risk whatever she wanted but Flame didn’t have that privilege?
Was it possible that she actually cared for her?
NO!
Rocket could not allow herself to believe that. Especially with how well she had been doing in ignoring all those feelings.
Which to be honest, Flame had every right to want to talk to her about. Because during ‘The show down’ Rocket ‘Redeemed’ herself by making the tag, but of course, out of all the people to be paired with, she just happened to be paired with Flame.
Their was some EXTREME avoidance tonight, even if it didn’t show on camera.
And Geek was sorta in the same slot as her, as He got paired with Dynamite for Dodge tag.
She was super nice to him, and they did a super funny little skit in the beginning, but of course that was BEFORE they committed social suicide.
Rocket wouldn’t be surprised if Dynamite was moving out this very second.
Geek and Rocket hung out in their room as long as they could, but had to reluctantly leave to go to bed.
They gave each other a tight hug, as if filling each other up with the strength to keep going. And then they separated.
Rocket went as slow as physically possible, dreading the idea of returning back to Dynamite of all people. She could probably only make her feel worse out of all of this.
She decided to take the long way back, not even caring that she was making herself even more of a target for Banshee, honestly, she would gladly take Banshee over Flame or Dynamite.
But man, she could go for another one of Geeks hugs. Or even a little bit of Lorena. Just spending a minute with the happy girl could lift your spirits.
But then she would probably just bring along IG, which is someone she did not want to see in her current state.
Finally after a long sulking walk, Rocket arrived at her dorm.
